MSI Nightblade MI2C is custom built SFF PC with plenty of upgrade options without the need to rip it apart completely, which brings to the question; why do you want to put it into another PC case?
In any event, MoBo looks to be mini-ITX and any case that supports mini-ITX MoBos would do. Though, since Nightblade is custom made PC where MoBo uses SO-DIMMs (laptop RAM) and not regular DIMMs (desktop RAM), MoBo standoff holes may not line up with standard mini-ITX MoBo standoffs.
Even if you get the MoBo secured in a new case, you'll need new CPU cooler as well since the CPU cooler it has (blower-style with heat pipes above fan) is proprietary to that case. Getting new CPU cooler may also rise problems since MoBo CPU cooler mounting holes may not be at the same location as found on other LGA1151 MoBos.
Next in line would be PSU. Nightblade seems to have flex-ATX PSU in use, which, most likely, has custom power connectors to the MoBo (just like Dell and HP prebuilt PCs have), making the standard ATX or SFX PSU connectors incompatible.
